Miyajima Sanpai Yuran

Would you like to go through Otorii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine on a boat?

Around Miyajima Island are several shops and inns which offer various boat cruises including round-the-island tour and shrine-visiting course on which you can get close to Otorii Gate at flood tide and even goes through the gate when the weather and waves are favorable.

It will be quite a memorable experience to watch the mystic floating shirine buildings from the sea.
